Frequently Asked Questions
ButtonMaker uses the published tooling size for your press rather than a percentage. A 2 inch square button takes 0.3585 inches of bleed on each side, for a cut size of 2.717 inches. Squares need roughly double a round of the same size, because the corners have to wrap as well as the edges. These are Tecre's published numbers. Round buttons are the same to three decimals at every major supplier, but squares are not: suppliers genuinely differ on shapes. If your die came with a paper template, measure that and enter the bleed manually. The tool shows the bleed zone in real time as you position your image.
On a standard 8.5 x 11 inch letter page you fit 6 buttons at the default half-inch margins, and 15 on tabloid (11 x 17). A 2 inch square is cut at 2.717 inches, since a square needs roughly double the wrap allowance of a round. Square buttons still tile without the gaps circles leave. ButtonMaker handles the layout automatically.
Even though the 2.25" circle is slightly larger in diameter, the 2" square actually gives you more usable design area because circles lose their corners. The square is better for photos, QR codes, and designs with straight edges. The circle works better for traditional round pins and designs that look natural in a round frame.
Yes. Square buttons require a press with a square die set. ButtonMaker generates print files that match standard 2 inch square dies with proper bleed and cut guides.
